Methanesulfonyl chloride → (+/-)-(1S,2R,65)-2-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)-6-methyl-4-(3-nitropyridin-4-yl)cyclohex-3-en-1-yl methanesulfonate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of (+/−)-tert-butyl ((1R,5S,6S)-6-hydroxy-5-methyl-3-(3-nitropyridin-4-yl)cyclohex-2-en-1-yl)carbamate (1.0 equiv.) in pyridine (0.20 M) was added MsCl (5.0 equiv.). The capped solution was stirred for 5 minutes and then the homogeneous solution was left standing at rt for 16 hrs. The volatiles were removed in vacuo and the residue was partitioned between EtOAc and H2O. The organic layer was washed with 10% CuSO4, H2O, Na2CO3(sat), NaCl(sat), dried over MgSO4, filtered, concentrated and purified by ISCO SiO2 chromatography to yield (+/−)-(1S,2R,6S)-2-((tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino)-6-methyl-4-(3-nitropyridin-4-yl)cyclohex-3-en-1-yl methanesulfonate in 46% yield. LC/MS (m/z)=428.2 (MH+), Rt=0.89 min.
